NETJet Reference Numbers It is important that you make a note of the printer server’s unique ethernet address (known as the Media Access Control or MAC address) and its serial number. The figure below shows the locations of these numbers. Serial Number
BCS1909
Ethernet MAC Address
Faceplate
Figure 2-1: Location of Reference Numbers
Although the following information is clearly printed on the unit, we suggest you enter the numbers here for later reference. MAC Address: 00-00-C9- ____ ____-____ ____-____ ____ Serial Number: ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Next, enter the default printer server name. This name begins with a three digit prefix unique to the type of printer server. The remaining digits are taken from the last six characters of the MAC address, without the dashes. For example, the prefix for the NETJet is NJA. Combined with a MAC address such as 00-00-C9-01-A0-6A, the default server name for this printer server will be NJA01A06A.
2-2 Chapter 2
The default printer server name is very important and is always used when installing the printer server for the first time. Once a successful installation has been accomplished, the default printer server name can be changed. Default Server Name: NJA _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ NOTE:
We suggest you use the default printer server name when installing the printer server for the first time.
To determine the default printer name, enter the Emulex default printer server name combined with the Emulex printer server port number. Port numbering on the NETJet is as follows: •
#1 - Console terminal port
For example, NJA01A06A_1 is the NETJet console terminal port. Default Printer Name: NJA____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ _ ____
Installation The printer server may be installed in Hewlett-Packard MIO compliant printers and plotters. Procedures vary by printer model, but will be similar to these basic installation instructions. CAUTION: Printer power must be OFF or permanent damage could result to both the printer or plotter and the printer server. 1) Turn the AC power switch OFF on the printer. 2) Remove the AC power cord from the printer. 3) Remove any cables connected to the printer. 4) Expose the MIO slot. Remove any interface board or faceplate from the MIO slot. 5) Remove the Emulex printer server from its anti-static bag. 6) Insert the Emulex printer server into the printer MIO slot.

Automatic Installation Emulex recommends running the ENSTALL utility. This user friendly utility automatically configures the UNIX host to support network printing via TCP/IP with Emulex printer servers.
CD ROM 1) Logon as root at the system prompt. 2) Change to a directory where third party software is typically installed. For example, /usr 3) Insert the CD-ROM into a drive. 4) Extract the files from the cd-rom to the hard drive. > #tar xvf mount_point/utils/ps50/unix/50.tar ./emlx
UNIX TCP/IP 4-3 mount_point The directory path mount point for the CD-ROM drive.
The tar command creates a subdirectory called emlx under the current working directory and extracts the UNIX utilities into the emlx directory. 5) Go to the Emlx directory: >
#cd emlx
6) Enter: >
#enstall -s
When the enstall utility begins, follow the instructions and supply the requested information. When the ENSTALL program is complete, the Emulex printer server is ready to use.
Diskette 1) Logon as root at the system prompt. 2) Change to a directory where third party software is typically installed. For example, /usr 3) Load the UNIX Utility diskette into a 3.5 floppy disk drive. 4) Extract the files from the diskette to the hard drive. > #tar xvf device_file ./emlx device_file The UNIX device file for the floppy drive.
For example: >
#tar xvf /dev/fd0 ./emlx
The tar command creates a subdirectory called Emlx under the current working directory and extracts the UNIX utilities into the Emlx directory. 5) Go to the Emlx directory: >
#cd emlx
6) Enter: >
#enstall -s
4-4 Chapter 4
When the ENSTALL utility begins, follow the instructions and supply the requested information. When the ENSTALL program is complete, the Emulex printer server is ready to use.
Manual Installation IMPORTANT: This section contains advanced features. All parameters should be configured by the Network Administrator. Emulex recommends running the ENSTALL program instead of performing a manual installation. To manually install the printer server on a UNIX network: •
Assign the IP address using ARP, BootP, DHCP or RARP.
•
Configure the print queue environment.
ARP NOTE: ARP, PING and RARP commands do not alter the subnet mask. The ARP command offers a convenient means of assigning the printer server’s initial IP address. The IP address is stored in the printer server’s permanent and temporary memory. Although the ARP command is standard on all UNIX platforms, its syntax may vary from one system to another. Change IP Address The ARP command cannot be used to change a printer server’s existing IP address. To change an existing IP address, use telnet. 1) Logon to the printer server as supervisor. 2) Enter: >
Server>> define server IP IP_address IP_address
The desired IP address in decimal dot notation.
3) Reboot the printer server.
UNIX TCP/IP 4-5
Assign IP Address 1) Login to the UNIX host as root user. 2) Verify IP address availability. >
#ping IP_address IP_address
The desired IP address in decimal dot notation.
You should not receive a response. If a response is received, select another IP address with the assistance of the network administrator. 3) Assign the IP address. >
#arp -s IP_address MAC_address The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation. MAC_address The printer server MAC address in hexadecimal [09, a-f] notation. For example: > #arp -s 138.239.252.183 0:0:c9:0:c1:a9 IP_address
IMPORTANT:
Do not use leading zeroes in the IP address or MAC address.
On an AIX system, include an additional argument to the ARP command to indicate the Ethernet interface: >
#arp
-s ether IP_address MAC_address
The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation. MAC_address The printer server MAC address in hexadecimal [09, a-f] notation. IP_address
On other systems such as AT&T System V, the ARP command is: >
#arpbypass -f1 set IP_address 0xnn.0xnn.0xnn.0xnn.0xnn.0xnn IP_address n
The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation. Represents hexadecimal digits.
4) Turn the printer server off and on.
4-6 Chapter 4
5) Enter: >
#ping IP_address IP_address
The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation.
NOTE: The command interrupt key (usually C) will stop the PING command. Assign Symbolic Name The user has the option of assigning a symbolic name to the Emulex printer server. To assign the name, perform these steps: 1) Login to the host. 2) Add this command to the file /etc/hosts (or /usr/etc/hosts). >
#IP_address server_name IP_address serve_name
The IP address just assigned. The symbolic name describing the server.
For example: > #138.239.252.184 accounting_printer
NOTE:
If the /etc/hosts file is administered by NIS (formerly Yellow Pages), update the appropriate NIS master hosts database instead. Refer to host documentation for more information.
UNIX TCP/IP 4-7
BootP Emulex printer servers will accept and configure the following parameters from a TCP/IP BootP server host: •
Gateway IP address(es)
•
Host IP address
•
Server Domain Name
•
Server IP address
•
Server Loadfile Path and Name
•
Server Node Name
•
Server Subnet Mask
Any other BootP parameters supplied by a BootP server host will be ignored by the server code without any error indication. 1) Determine if BootP is running on the host. BSD: >
#ps -ax | grep bootp
System V: >
#ps -e | grep bootp
If BootP is defined for background operation, an active BootP daemon is displayed. 2) If an active BootP daemon is not listed, enter: >
#grep bootp /directory/inetd.conf directory
May be /etc/* or /usr/etc/*
If a BootP is present, it will be listed with its parameters. 3) Login to the printer server as supervisor.
4-8 Chapter 4
4) Enter Emulex printer server command: >
Server>> define server bootp n m [temp] n m temp
The number of times to request BootP information if the server IP address is not known (default = 2). The number of times to request BootP information if the server IP address is known (default = 1). Instructs the server to configure the acquired information in RAM only. If this parameter is omitted, the information is permanently written in EAROM (default is permanent).
DHCP If the UNIX host is configured as a DHCP server, the IP address is assigned automatically. NOTE:
The Emulex printer server must always be configured as “reserved” client by the host DHCP administration facility. This guarantees that an IP address assigned by DHCP will be reserved exclusively for that printer server through its LAN hardware address.
1) Login to the Emulex printer server. 2) Enter: >
Server>> define server DHCP n m [temp] n m temp
The number of times to request DHCP information if the server IP address is not known (default = 2). The number of times to request DHCP information if the server IP address is known (default = 1). Instructs the server to configure the acquired information in RAM only. If this parameter is omitted, the information is permanently written in EAROM (default is permanent).
NOTE: If both n and m are zero, DHCP is disabled.
UNIX TCP/IP 4-9
When the Emulex printer server reboots, the default sequence of IP address acquisition is to attempt BootP first; if BootP fails, attempt DHCP; if DHCP fails, attempt RARP. NOTE: Set the corresponding n and m parameters for BootP to zero. The host will then attempt DHCP immediately upon rebooting without attempting BootP.
RARP 1) Determine if RARP is running on the UNIX host. BSD: >
#ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
System V: >
#ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
2) Add the following entry in the file /etc/ethers or usr/etc/ethers: >
#MAC_address server_name MAC_address The printer server’s MAC address. server_name The symbolic name. For example: > #00:00:c9:01:c1:a9 accounting_printer
3) Add the following entry in the file /etc/hosts (or usr/etc/hosts): >
#IP_address server_name IP_address The printer server IP address. server_name Must match the name entered in the /etc/ethers file.
NOTE:
If the /etc/hosts file is administered by NIS (formerly Yellow Pages), update the appropriate NIS master hosts database instead. Refer to host documentation for more information.
4-10 Chapter 4
When the printer server is booted, the host receives the RARP request from the printer server. It then sends the IP address in the /etc/hosts file to the printer server and stores it in the printer server temporary memory.
Configure the Print Queue The printer server provides remote printing via the Emulex RPRINT utility on all systems, and LPD on some platforms. ENSTALL automatically installs RPRINT and optionally supports LPD. RPRINT is a UNIX program that may be run from a print spooler or invoked as a stand-alone module. The program takes data from standard input, connects to a server, and transmits the data. Various features and options make RPRINT well-suited to most printing applications. These include: •
Compatibility with BSD and System V hosts. RPRINT uses either the BSD sockets library or the System V Transport Level Interface (TLI).
•
Automatically generated log files for ease in troubleshooting.
•
Binary or text data selection can be made from the command line or through an entry in the printcap file.
•
Printer filters that may be enabled before the data is sent to the printer server.
The method for installing and configuring RPRINT is different for BSD and System V hosts. Choose the appropriate procedure for your system. Configure for BSD Hosts To configure a BSD host with RPRINT: 1) Copy the Emulex utility RPRINT.C to a host system. This file is found on the UNIX utilities diskette. 2) Go to the subdirectory where RPRINT is loaded. For example, > #/usr/emlx
UNIX TCP/IP 4-11
3) Edit the file ENVIRON.H to reflect the appropriate system type. Typical system parameters for Sun Sparc Stations are: >
#define SOCK
1
>
#define SYSV
0
>
#define LING
1
>
#define ROBUST 1
4) Enter: >
#cc rprint.c -o rprint
This compiles and links RPRINT.C. NOTE: The compile command can vary greatly on different systems. If the compile command fails, check your host documentation for the correct syntax and libraries to include for SOCKETs programming. 5) Create a dummy device file for the remote printer. >
#mknod /dev/printer_name c 3 2
>
#chown daemon /dev/printer_name
>
#chmod 666 /dev/ printer_name
NOTE: Some systems may also require a chgrp command. Refer to your system manual for more information. Major and minor numbers used in the mknod command may differ as well. Use the same major and minor numbers found in the /dev/null file.
4-12 Chapter 4
6) Create a directory for the spooled files: >
#mkdir /usr/spool/printer_name
>
#chown daemon /usr/spool/printer_name
>
#chmod 755 /usr/spool/ printer_name
7) Edit the /etc/printcap file to include an entry for the printer server printer(s). For example, the following entry defines a LaserJet IIIsi with the Postscript option:
>
#emlx_ps|LaserJet_IIIsi|parallel _port:\ :lp=/dev/emlx_ps:\ (dummy device name) :sd=/usr/spool/emlx_ps:\ (dir for spooled files) :of=/usr/emlx/rprint:\ (rprint program) :emlx_n=138.239.252.183:\ (server IP address) :mx#0:\ (unlimited buffer space) :sh:\ (suppress burst pg headersheet) :sf:\ (suppress form feeds) :emlx_text=disable:\ (required for non-text files) :emlx_p=2501: (TCP port number)
8) Initialize the new spool device by using the name in the printcap file. For example: > #lpc start emlx_ps
9) Print a test file: >
#lpr -Pemlx_ps
ps_filename
ps_filename The test file will be printed in PostScript format.
UNIX TCP/IP 4-13
Configure a System V Host 1) Copy the Emulex utility RPRINT.C to a host system. This file is found on the UNIX utilities diskette. 2) Go to the subdirectory where RPRINT is loaded. For example, > #/usr/emlx
3) Edit the file ENVIRON.H to reflect the appropriate system type. For example, typical system parameters for a generic System V system: > #define SOCK 1 (0 = no sockets supported) >
#define SYSV 1
>
#define LING 1
>
#define ROBUST 1
>
#define PRINTCAP “/usr/emlx/printcap”
4) Compile and link RPRINT.C: If sockets are available, enter: >
#cc rprint.c -o rprint -lsocket
If sockets are not available, enter: >
#cc rprint.c -o rprint -lnsl_s
NOTE: Compile commands will vary on different UNIX systems. Some will not require libraries on the command string. Others will require one or more libraries on the compile command. Typical libraries to use are: > #1socket
>
#1nsl_s
(System V Rel 3.X)
>
#1nsl
(System V Rel 4.X)
>
#1inet
5) Edit the /usr/emlx/printcap file to include an entry for the printer server printer(s).
4-14 Chapter 4 For example, the following defines a LaserJet IIIsi printer named emlx_txt on the parallel port (port 1, TCP port 2501): > #emlx_txt | LJIII_1 | LaserJetIIIsi:\ :lp=emlx_txt:\
dummy device name
:emlx_n=IP_address:\
server IP addr.
:emlx_p=2501: TCP port number The following is an example for a Postscript printer named emlx_ps. > #emlx_ps | LJIII_1 | LaserJetIIIsi:\ :lp=emlx_ps:\
dummy device name
:emlx_n=IP_address:\
server IP addr.
:emlx_ps=disable:\ :emlx_p=2501:
TCP port number
6) Copy the sample Emulex printer interface file, LP_DUMB, to another file that corresponds to the selected printer name. For example: > #cp lp_dumb lp_emlx
7) Edit the lp_emlx file to specify the correct path to the RPRINT program. Assuming the RPRINT program is kept in /usr/emlx, enter the second to the last line of the lp_ emlx file as follows: (shell commands) > #/usr/emlx/rprint `basename $0` $1 8) Using UNIX Bourne shell script programming, edit the lp_emlx file and modify the banner page that precedes the printed output. 9) Install the printer into the System V spooler system. Most System V spoolers are not required to be shut down to install a printer, with the exception of HP-UX. NOTE:
>
For HP-UX, before shutting down the spooling system, check to see that there are no print jobs running (enter lpstat -o). If jobs are running, wait until they are completed.
#/usr/lib/lpshut
(HP-UX only)
UNIX TCP/IP 4-15
>
#/usr/lib/lpadmin -pemlx -v/dev/null i/user/emlx/lp_emlx
>
#/usr/lib/lpsched
>
#/usr/lib/accept emlx
>
#enable emlx
(HP-UX only)
Some systems require that the second line use the string: >
#v/dev/emlx
10) To make the printer the default system printer, enter: >
#/usr/lib/lpadmin -demlx
11) Enter: >
#lp -demlx file_name file_name
The test file to be printed. If the host is configured correctly, a banner page (if enabled) and the contents of this file will be printed If the test fails, refer to a UNIX system administration manual for information on printer spooler operation.
4-16 Chapter 4
LPD In most cases, local print options such as header and trailer banner pages, and input or output filters are ignored. If this limitation is not acceptable, install the printer using the Emulex RPRINT remote printing utility. Configure LPD on a BSD UNIX Host The following procedure uses native LPD print protocol on a BSD UNIX host (SunOS or ULTRIX) with the printer server. The procedure for other UNIX systems such as Solaris, AIX or SCO is completely different (See UNIX documentation for details). IMPORTANT: This procedure assumes you want to print to a single port using the LPD protocol. 1) Enter: >
#ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep lpd
This will determine if LPD is supported on the system. If the system does not return a process number for LPD, use RPRINT as described above. If LPD is supported, proceed as follows: 2) On the host, edit the /etc/printcap file to contain a similar entry: For example, to send text (non-PostScript) files to port 1:
>
#LJ4_PCL|HP_LaserJet_4|port_1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=node_name:\ :rp=TEXT:\ :mx#0:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/LJ4_PCL:
UNIX TCP/IP 4-17 For sending PostScript or graphics files to port 1:
>
LJ4_PS|HP_LaserJet_4|port_1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=node_name:\ :rp=PASSTHRU:\ :mx#0:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/LJ4_PS:
node_name LJ4_PCL LJ4_PS TEXT
PASSTHRU
The same entered in the /etc/hosts file in Step 4. Example printer name. Example printer name. Valid default queue name. Adds a carriage return after each linefeed in the file. Use this queue for standard UNIX text Valid default queue name. Passes the file directly to the printer without modification. Use this queue for all non-text files.
NOTE: Do not use the TEXT queue for Postscript, HPGL or any non-text files. 3) Create the spooling directory. For example: > #mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/LJ4_PCL
4-18 Chapter 4
4) Add the server’s node_name to the /etc/hosts file. For example: > #IP_address IP_address node_name
node_name
The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation. The same entered in the /etc/printcap file in step 2.
5) To start the printer queue: >
#lpc start printer_name printer_name
The remote printer queue name.
6) Enter: >
#lpr -Pprinter_name file_name printer_name The remote printer queue name. file_name Any text file name.
Configure LPD for Non-UNIX Hosts Many non-UNIX hosts using TCP/IP support printing through the LPD protocol. Refer to the host’s TCP/IP documentation to configure printers using LPD. Information needed to configure the printer server includes: •
The IP address of the printer server
•
The remote queue (printer) name
•
TEXT and PASSTHRU as the printer server’s default queue names
•
Either default TCP or acceptable TCP ports depend upon host environment requirements.
UNIX TCP/IP 4-19
LPSTAT Use LPSTAT to determine the current status of a printer connected to the printer server. From any host terminal: 1) Enter: >
#lpstat -o printer_name printer_name
The remote printer queue name.
2) Verify display. The screen displays the number of jobs in the queue, and a line for each job, listing the job name and origination. For example: > #lpstat -o emlx _txt 3 jobs for emlx are found in the example: nq001 from host king - printing nq002 from host queen nq003 from host king
If there are no jobs in the queue, the command returns a blank line.
Configure for Syslog Support UNIX Syslog Support provides the ability to log certain printer status changes. Messages are logged into a standard UNIX syslog facility at one or more UNIX hosts or other hosts supporting the TCP/IP Syslog facility. NOTE: Knowledge in the administration of the syslog facility on the UNIX syslog server host is required.:

This command displays a screen containing information on AppleTalk parameters.
Non Bi-Directional Printers Emulex printer servers provide support for printers that do not have bidirectional communication capabilities. Without this capability, the printer cannot supply the host with a list of supported fonts. The host must download fonts to the printer each time it sends an AppleTalk print job. The printer server can supply this information to the host on behalf of the printer, thus saving an appreciable amount of time on each job. To build a font list on the Emulex printer server: 1) View the available fonts on your printer. 2) View the font list on the printer server. 3) Add or remove fonts on the printer server font list. NOTE: These steps are explained in detail in the following section.
AppleTalk 6-5
View Printer Fonts NOTE: Spelling and capitalization of the fonts must be entered exactly as required by the printer. View fonts supported by the specific printer. 1) Pull down the FILE menu of the LASER WRITER UTILITY. 2) Select DISPLAY AVAILABLE FONTS. This will display the fonts available on your printer. View Printer Server Fonts To view the fonts listed on the printer server, enter: >
Server>> show port port_list fonts port_list
A list of port numbers separated by commas.
Add Printer Server Fonts To add one or more PostScript font strings to one or more port’s font list, enter: >
Server>> change port port_list fonts add “font_list” port_list A list of port numbers separated by commas. “font_list” A list of PostScript font strings separated by blanks or tabs and enclosed in double quotes. Dashes rather than spaces must be used to separate components in font names.
6-6 Chapter 6
Remove Printer Server Fonts To remove one or more font strings from one or more port’s font list, enter: >
Server>> change port port_list fonts remove [“font_list” |all] port_list “font_list”

Lan Manager 7-1
Requirements Before beginning, verify the network conforms to these requirements: •
Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 or higher
•
Microsoft OS/2 version 1.3
•
TCP/IP or NetBios running on each LAN Manager file server or client. Version 2.2 of LAN Manager includes the required TCP/IP stack, all other LAN Manager versions need the TCP/IP stack added. NetBios is included in LAN Manager.
Emulex Print Manager running on LAN Manager allows up to 16 print queue connections per server (OS/2 limitation) and an unlimited number of LAN Manager servers to redirect their output to an unlimited number of printer servers. This allows for the sharing of printers between LAN Manager clients operating under other operating systems.
Print Manager Distribution Files The Emulex Print Manager runs on LAN Manager. Print Manager allows you to configure file servers and clients for TCP/IP and NetBios printing. Emulex printer servers can receive multiple print jobs from file servers and clients, simultaneously printing TCP/IP and NetBios. NOTE: The files on CD-ROM are under the path \utils\ps50\Lanman. The utilities diskette or CD-ROM in this package contains the following files: INSTALL.EXE - The installation utility that creates the required directories and copies the appropriate files to the system. NPM.EXE - The OS/2 Presentation Manager program that installs and configures printers. This program also starts, pauses and stops the printing process on servers and provides real-time statistics for each OS/2 server’s printer queue. NPMST.EXE - Automatically starts the print process upon OS/2 server boot.
7-2 Chapter 7
NOTE: In order to print using the NetBios protocol, the user must logon to the server’s domain. Add the “logon/D:domain” command before NPMST.EXE and after net start in the startup.cmd. NPM.INF - The Emulex Print Manager’s information file. Do not modify the contents of the NPM.INF file. RPRINT.EXE - Implements the print processes running in background on the OS/2 server for TCP/IP printing. When you send a print job, a print process is created in the background which redirects the output of a print queue associated with this printer to an Emulex printer server. RPRINTNB.EXE - Implements the print processes running in background on the OS/2 server for NetBios printing. When you send a print job, a print process is created in the background which redirects the output of a print queue associated with this printer to an Emulex printer server.

LAN Server 8-1
Requirements Before beginning, verify the network conforms to these requirements: •
IBM LAN Server version 3.0 or higher
•
IBM OS/2 version 2.0 or higher
•
TCP/IP or NetBios running on each LAN Manager file server or client. NetBios is included in LAN Server.
Emulex Print Manager running on LAN Server allows up to 16 print queue connections per server (OS/2 limitation) and an unlimited number of LAN Server servers to redirect their output to an unlimited number of printer servers. This allows for the sharing of printers between LAN Server clients operating under other operating systems.
Print Manager Distribution Files The Emulex Print Manager runs on LAN Server. Print Manager allows you to configure file servers and clients for TCP/IP and NetBios printing. Emulex printer servers can receive multiple print jobs from file servers and clients, simultaneously printing TCP/IP and NetBios. NOTE: The files on CD ROM are in the \utils\ps50\Lanservr path. The utilities diskette or CD-ROM in this package contains the following files. INSTALL.EXE - The installation utility that creates the required directories and copies the appropriate files to the system. NPM.EXE - The OS/2 Presentation Manager program that installs and configures printers. This program also starts, pauses and stops the printing process on servers and provides real-time statistics for each OS/2 server’s printer queue. NPMST.EXE - Automatically starts the print process upon OS/2 server boot.
8-2 Chapter 8
NOTE: In order to print using the NetBios protocol, the user must logon to the server’s domain. Add the “logon/D:domain” command before NPMST.EXE and after net start in the STARTUP.CMD. NPM.INF - The Emulex Print Manager’s information file. Do not modify the contents of the NPM.INF file. RPRINT.EXE - Implements the print processes running in background on the OS/2 server for TCP/IP printing. When you send a print job, a print process is created in the background which redirects the output of a print queue associated with this printer to an Emulex printer server. RPRINTNB.EXE - Implements the print processes running in background on the OS/2 server for NetBios printing. When you send a print job, a print process is created in the background which redirects the output of a print queue associated with this printer to an Emulex printer server. NPMINST.EXE - Allows the creation of printers using a command line interface. This program must not be run while NPM.EXE is running. NPMINST allows the user to configure printers remotely without using an OS/2 Program Manager window interface. NOTE: Enter NPMINST/? for a list and explanation of command options. TELRCF.EXE - Remote Emulex printer server configuration program using TCP/IP.

9-2 Chapter 9
Assigning an IP Address You must assign an IP address prior to installing with Windows NT.
DHCP If the UNIX host is configured as a DHCP server, the IP address is assigned automatically. NOTE: The Emulex printer server must always be configured as “reserved” client by the host DHCP administration facility. This guarantees that an IP address assigned by DHCP will be reserved exclusively for that printer server through its LAN hardware address. 1) Login to the Emulex printer server. 2) Enter: >
Server>> define server DHCP n m [temp] n m temp
The number of times to request DHCP information if the server IP address is not known (default = 2). The number of times to request DHCP information if the server IP address is known (default = 1). Instructs the server to configure the acquired information in RAM only. If this parameter is omitted, the information is permanently written in EAROM (default is permanent).
NOTE: If both n and m are zero, DHCP is disabled.
Windows NT 9-3
Without DHCP 1) Login to the Emulex printer server. Refer to the Remote Login or Local Login section later in this chapter. 2) Enter: >
Server>> define node ip ip_address ip_address
The IP address of the designated node in decimal dot notation. For example, 123.234.345.490
Installation Any Windows NT computer can be used to created a TCP/IP printer if TCP/IP is installed with printing support. Follow the steps below to configure a Windows NT computer for TCP/IP printing. In the CONTROL PANEL: 1) Select NETWORK option. This opens the NETWORK SETTINGS dialog box. 2) Click ADD SOFTWARE button. This displays the ADD NETWORK SOFTWARE dialog box. 3) Select TCP/IP Protocol and Related Components. 4) Click CONTINUE. This opens the WINDOWS NT TCP/IP INSTALLATION OPTIONS dialog box. 5) Check TCP/IP NETWORK PRINTING SUPPORT. If TCP/IP is not already installed on this computer, check the other desired options as described in the Windows NT System Guide. 6) Click OK. 7) Enter the full path to the Windows NT distribution files. 8) Click CONTINUE. All necessary files are copied to the hard disk.
9-4 Chapter 9
NOTE: If the Enable Automatic DHCP Configuration option is not checked in the Installation Options dialog box, all required procedures for manually configuring TCP/IP must be completed as described in the Windows NT System Guide. The NETWORK SETTINGS dialog box will open. 9) Select CLOSE. 10) Restart the computer. A TCP/IP printer can now be created on this Windows NT computer.
Create a TCP/IP Printer Use Print Manager to create a TCP/IP printer. The following information is required: •
The IP identifier of the host where the printer is connected. This can be the DNS name or the IP address. A direct-connect printer has its own IP identifier. A printer connected to a UNIX computer uses the computer’s IP identifier.
•
The printer name as identified on the host. This is the name defined on the UNIX computer or defined by the directconnect printer manufacturer.
The computer where the TCP/IP printer is created must have TCP/IP installed and configured with the TCP/IP Network Printing Support option. From the PRINTER menu in PRINT MANAGER: 1) Select CREATE PRINTER.
Windows NT 9-5
This opens the CREATE PRINTER dialog box:
Figure 9-1: Create Printer Menu
2) Enter a name in the Printer Name box. This name can have up to 32 characters and can be the same as the printer name identified on the printer’s UNIX host. For a direct-connect printer, see the hardware documentation to find the name by which the network printer identifies the print queue. 3) Select the appropriate driver in the Driver pulldown list. Optional text may be entered in the Description box to inform network users about the printer. 4) Select OTHER in the PRINT TO box.
9-6 Chapter 9
This displays the Print Destinations dialog box:
Figure 9-2: Available Print Monitors List
5) Select LPR PORT. 6) Click OK. The following dialog box will appear:
Figure 9-3: Add LPR Compatible Printer
IMPORTANT: Read through Steps 7 and 8 before proceeding. 7) Enter the DNS name or IP address of the host for the printer in the NAME OR ADDRESS OF HOST PROVIDING LPD box. Use either the DNS name, the IP address of the direct-connect TCP/IP printer, or of the UNIX computer to which the printer is connected. The DNS name can be the name specified for the host in the HOSTS file.
Windows NT 9-7
NOTE: LPR stands for Line Printing Utility, and LPD stands for Line Printing Daemon, which is how these elements are known on UNIX. 8) Enter the name of the printer. This name is identified by the host in the NAME OF PRINTER ON THAT MACHINE box. This is either the direct-connect printer itself or the UNIX computer. For a direct-connect printer, this is whatever name was used to create the printer while running LPD. For example, the TCP/IP printer being created will interact with a UNIX computer running the print server component (LPD). If LPD recognizes a printer attached to the UNIX computer by the name Crisp, enter the name Crisp in this box.
Unique Printer Queue Names Although not mandatory, the printer queue names TEXT and PASSTHRU are printer server defaults. The user may define a unique printer queue name if the following conditions apply: •
The LPD service cannot have a physical port number assigned. If it does, then printer names TEXT or PASSTHRU must be used.
•
The unique printer name must have a TCP port number other than 515 assigned to it. Lower case names are acceptable when enclosed within double quotes (“ ”).
In the ADD LPR COMPATIBLE PRINTER dialog box: 1) Login to printer server as supervisor.
9-8 Chapter 9
2) Enter: >
Server>> change service lpd port all disable
>
Server>> change service printer_name TCP_port_n PORT n telnet disable filter [enable |disable] printer_name The unique printer name to assign TCP_port_n The TCP port name other than 515. Emulex suggests starting at 3000 n The physical parallel port of the printer server enable|disable Enable is equivalent to TEXT and inserts a carriage return with each line feed . Disable is equivalent to PASSTHRU and sends data with no changes. For example: The following commands change the name of the printer on the parallel port to Parallel which supports a PostScript printer:
>
Server>> change service lpd port all disable
>
Server>> change service parallel 3001 port 1 To include an ID for the newly created printer, enter the following command: > Server>> change service parallel id “HP4si on default printer server name in Room 1231”
3) Return to Windows NT to complete the remaining steps: 4) Click the SHARE THIS PRINTER ON THE NETWORK option in the CREATE PRINTER dialog box: Select this option to provide other users with access to this printer.
Windows NT 9-9
Figure 9-4: Create Printer
5) Enter a Share Name. This name can contain a maximum of eight characters. A default shared resource name is seen in the SHARE NAME box, but it can be changed. 6) Enter printer location. This is an optional entry in the Location box. Users will see this location information when they connect to the printer. 7) Click OK.
9-10 Chapter 9
In PRINT MANAGER, the printer name specified in the CREATE PRINTER dialog box appears in the title bar of the printer’s window, as shown:
Figure 9-5: Print Manager
For computers configured with Microsoft Network Client version 2.0 for MS-DOS, users see only the shared name, not the printer name. Users who connect to this TCP/IP printer can select and print to it from applications. Users and administrators can use Print Manager to secure and audit the use of the printer and change its properties. Use the LPR connectivity utility at the command prompt to print a file to a host running an LPD server. The LPQ diagnostic utility can also be used to obtain the status of a print queue on a host running the LPD server. For more information, see the entries for LPR and LPQ in the Windows NT System Guide.
Printing to Windows NT from UNIX The LPDSVC service is the server side of TCP/IP printing for UNIX clients. If any UNIX client on the network wants to print to a printer connected to a Windows NT computer, this service needs to be running on the Windows NT computer so it can accept requests from UNIX clients. The LPDSVC service supports any print format, including plain-text. It does not perform any additional processing.
Windows NT 9-11
There are two different ways to start or stop the LPDSVC service. At the command prompt: 1) Type net start LPDSVC or net stop LPDSVC. 2) Press ENTER. In the CONTROL PANEL: 3) Choose the SERVICES option. 4) Select LPDSVC in the service list. 5) Click START. On the UNIX computer, use the Windows NT printer by typing: >
# lpr -S NTHost - P LpdPrinter myfile.txt NTHost
LpdPrinter myfile.txt
The Windows NT Server running the LPDSVC service. This Windows NT computer should be listed in the HOSTS file on the UNIX computer or on the DNS server. The name of the printer created on NTHost. The file to be printed.
The LPDSVC service is independent of the LPRMON service. The LPRMON service allows a Windows NT computer (and all clients who can access this computer) to print to a printer connected to a UNIX system, as described in the previous section.
Logging into the Printer Server You can login to the printer server remotely from a UNIX workstation or locally from a console terminal.
Remote Login 1) Login to a UNIX TCP/IP workstation. The prompt may appear different than the one shown below. 2) Connect to the printer server: >
